Foods of New York Tours

I went on this tour with my husband and another couple. We are very happy we did it. We learned so much history about the building the market is located in. We were very pleased with our tour guide. She could have talked a little bit louder because of all the noise in the market, but she was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We sampled food and baked goodies that we wanted desperately to go back and purchase so we could bring stuff back home. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go back to the market, but we will definitely go back again next time we come to the big apple. You also learn alot about the Meat Packing District on this tour. I highly recommend this tour. We have also taken the Greenwich Village walking tour and we loved that one also (same company). Our bellys were very full when the tour was over. Don't hesitate on this one!

Our tour guide was Cindy. She was great! Very enthusiastic, friendly and full of energy. She took very good care of us and made sure everyone got samples of the food, always made sure the whole group was together, and she's very knowledgeable about the area! Give that woman a raise! :) I've already recommended the tour to all of my friends.

I though the tour was ok and the tour guide was good. but there is not much in the chelsea market to see and we spend 3 hours when a half an hour would have been more than enough. I have been to better markets and the food (although good) was a bit touristy. Most of the buildings contain tv studios (which you cant get to see) and seem wasted as the building is a little quirky. My advise save the cash go down there for a quick look around by yourself and do something else for the rest of the afternoon.

seven of us..........three childhood friends with their four grown daughters enjoyed a bonding experience and thought the tour was absolutely great. Though the mothers had all been to Chelsea Market only a year ago, we were expecting a little disappointment in seeing the same place twice.. We said we were going for the daughters. Were we ever surprised at how much we learned and how much we saw that we had never seen the first time. The guide was personable, funny, very knowledgable. VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. We would all do it again in a heart beat and we loved all the exercise we got from walking. The meat packing district was equally as great.DId we mention the food? The tastings were so delicious. We would all highly recommend the tour. Take the Greenwich Village tour also......you won't be disappointed.

How else could we have gotten such great info about the culture and tasted the variety of food? We'd have to live there for a long time. This is just what you need to learn about Greenwich Village. The only problem is that my favorite (falafel) was served last, when I was full up to max. I'd even do it again.

We had a wonderful time. The tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly, and the food was good too!

The tour was great and thoroughly planned, from the printed material to the enthusiastic and well-informed guide. The food tastings were ample; the architectural and historic comments intriguing; and the visits fun. I can't imagine doing this tour in rain and cold, but it was wondeful on a fair-weather day.

Wow! I stumbled across this tour on the internet, read the reviews & booked the tour for part of my first trip to NY. Informative, fun, and burp! More food than you can eat. The tasting samples where more than generous! Well worth the money. Like they said in the description..you won't need lunch. Our guide was enthusiastic & very knowledgable. Great introduction to the Village, it's people and it's history. Thanks for a great tour!

As a 1st time visitor to NYC I found this entertaining and interesting. It was great to have the chance to sample the fare at various food outlets - I now have a list of great places to eat when I visit again. The tour guide was relaxed and full of information, and it was fun to chat to the other members of the tour group. I saw lots of stuff that I would not have noticed without the guide's help. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable tour and tasting, not very tiring as you do not cover alot of distance and it is slow paced.

It's a great way to get familiarized with the neighborhood for those who just moved to the area.

The Chelsea market food tasting tour is definitely worth the time and money. The food samplings were delicious and delightful. Chelsea market is truly a gem full of rich history. --Erika Duran California :)

Curt was our tour guide and was great. Throughout the entire tour he kept us entertained and happy. We were happier with the Greenwich Village tour last year with Cindy in the sense that the area was more interesting to us than Chelesa. Also we thought we stayed in the market longer than needed, but the food was great and again Curt kept us in sitches. I would recommended this tour but for someone taking their first tour, I would recommend the Village first. rob and sherry

Our guide Kurt was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the area and about food. He was enthusiastic and funny. He made the trip. I think we stayed in one place, the chelsea Market a little too long. It would have been nice to sample restaurants outside the market also. It would have been nice to sample some of the wine in the wine store. I felt the trip lasted the right length but there was too much of it in the Chelsea Market itself although it was interesting what they have done with the building. Since they do so much tv there, it would have been nice to have at least a view of the Food Channel. On the whole it gave a great overview of the area. I still think the best part of the whole trip was Kurt.

Best part of my New York trip. Very enjoyable.
